Challenges

As we are all experiencing, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic has been broad and deep. In many ways, it has significantly impacted our personal sense of security in our own health and well-being, as well as the confidence in our ability to support those that we care about most.

At LA, we have been faced with the reality of having to make unplanned investments in a number of different areas of the school including the transition to remote instruction and supporting families with refunds, We have also had to be more flexible in our ability to provide unanticipated financial assistance and accommodations.

The combination of these expenses, coupled with an expected contraction in this year’s LA fund (due to the cancellation of our Spring Social and the decision to pause our annual Days of Giving campaign in early March) has created a significant potential revenue shortfall in this year’s operating budget.

As always, we remain dedicated to fulfilling our mission for our students and their families, both physically and virtually. But to accomplish this, particularly in these uncertain and challenging times, we need your help more than ever.
